We don't enable by default the embedded support as our old patch to
build libmysqld as a shared lib doesn't work with mysql-5.1, we
haven't been able to finish an update to the patch that works with it
and by enabling the embedded support in amarok the user will be forced
to use mysql-5.0.

If you didn't enable the embedded use flag, the ebuild showed in the
postinst messages a warning that you should read that link.
